125k in worth 180k… if those numbers are right, sounds like a good straight option canidate to me, if they aren’t willing to just deed the house to you outright.
Definately sounds like a live one.

Depends upon the condition of the property. If it is rough, do as you suggest. If it is pretty good to very good, get a deed, taking the property subject to the existing financing. Then advertise strongly and sell to a homebuyer-type prospect for close to market value. If you sell for about 10% less than market value, you should be able to make a good profit.
